Regulations Pertaining to Mergers, Acquisitions, and Takeovers by Foreign Persons

This proposed regulation amends regulations in part 800 of 31 CFR that implement section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. The proposed regulations would implement amendments made by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 to section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 ("section 721"). While the proposed regulations retain many features of the existing regulations, a number of changes have been made to increase clarity, reflect developments in business practices over the past several years, and make additional improvements based on experiences with the existing regulations.

This is a factual description of what was issued or decided, not an assessment of it.
